Nationals return Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) to 10-day disabled list

The Washington Nationals placed starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg on the 10-day disabled list.

What It Means:

No specifics on the injury have been released, but it's likely related to the shoulder inflammation that recently cost Strasburg six weeks of action. Strasburg will miss his scheduled start Thursday night at the Miami Marlins, and Tommy Milone will be called up to fill the vacant rotation spot. Strasburg could be looking at another lengthy absence.

Our models project Strasburg to toss another 63 2/3 innings this season, earning a 3.68 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 27.9 percent strikeout rate.
